If you mind me asking - from what Iâve gathered youâre more of an R&D take with the company? The new tech I work with I float all over the place, Lexus -> Toyota Toyota -> Lexus. I float all over the place lol! Not really tied down to one or the other.I'm at Lexus, and we love what we do over here
I understand what youâre saying. If youâre ever at the PEMC building wear an A70 hat or something and Iâll give you a thumbs up LOL. Have fun with your work!That's very much the norm for many roles.
I'm personally in a very unique position that I like to refer to as an engineering liaison; it essentially has to do with facilitating proper interactions between certain individuals. My actual job specifics are not something I introduce publically or even privately save for a small handful of individuals however. I was simply lucky enough to be valued by someone I respect very much and as such was given special opportunities.
B58 is turning out to be quite tuner friendly. ECU was just recently cracked, tuners previously relied only on piggy backs.Kinda bummed out with these news. I have a M235i with FBO at about 400 hp using the predecessor N55 engine. The B58 in the newer M240i has 360 hp with water injection. Currently not too tuner friendly it seems.
Haha, I might just do that, you never know. Thank you for your work and best of luck.I understand what youâre saying. If youâre ever at the PEMC building wear an A70 hat or something and Iâll give you a thumbs up LOL. Have fun with your work!
I guarantee you wonât do that....4cyl, 3cyl, or no cylinders....you will not buy this car to swap in a different motor.Besides the engine and the brakes, does anybody know what else is beefed up on the I6 Car?
Might just take Tada's advice: buy the 4 cylinder and swap it.
Why not? It's only fair for a SUPRA to have a 2JZ. I know i'm not the only one planning this either.I guarantee you wonât do that....4cyl, 3cyl, or no cylinders....you will not buy this car to swap in a different motor.
Exactly! Not to mention that most cars after 1996 require OBD-II systems to be operating at least at 90%. An everyday Joe Shmoe wonât have the money or the technical skillset to swap in a JZ and still be emissions compliant on a brand new car. This is why the big name tuners will do it for âoff road use.âI agree with Performance. Only people that will be buying and planning a swap will be tuning/aftermarket companies. It just make little to no sense for a typical customer to buy a brand new car to instantly plan an engine swap.
Right, just like the rest of us mortals. No one buys a new-er car to swap in a 2JZ into. 99% of the 2JZ swapped cars are pre-OBDII chassisâs. I think people throw â2JZ swapsâ out there too loosely. Itâs not an easy task, and even harder when emissions is thrown into the mix.From day one I have always planned on doing a 2JZ swap. But not one a brand new car. It will be a few years down the road and most likely one from Copart where I can get it for pennies on the dollar.
I have the emission part covered. I know a few test centers that will pass it for a few extra bucks.Rights, just like the rest of us mortals.
